Overview
We are currently preparing our submission for the Tasmanian Economic Regulator.
We have developed PSP5 in consultation with the Tasmanian community who have helped us inform the key outcomes our proposal will deliver.
Securing Tasmania’s water future starts now
Our water systems are under pressure. We’re investing to fix leaks, protect our rivers, and build reliable services – for you, and for generations to come.
Tasmania’s water and sewerage systems are ageing and no longer meeting environmental or service standards. Every year, we lose nearly one-quarter of our treated water – and experience more bursts and faults than most other Australian providers.
We’re tackling the problem now, so future Tasmanians don’t pay the price.
